Answer:
435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = <P = 49° (angle of elevation)
Opposite side = 500 ft
Adjacent side = d = ?
Apply trigonometric function, TOA.
This:
Tan P = opp/adj
Tan 49 = 500/d
d × Tan 49 = 500
d = 500/Tan 49
d = 434.643369 ≈ 435 ft (to the nearest foot)
Next term will be 100
as series is 18²,16²,14²,12² so next will be 10²
hope it helps
